In the booklet, Virginia Public Claims, Halifax County, we find the following notes of interest: (p. 3/5)

In the first instance above, we see that during the
Revolutionary War John Frederick furnished beef and corn meal to the Continental Army, as well as, feeding some of its cattle. In the second case, he presented a claim for even more services, which included feeding 50 horses and men, for a day, and furnishing the military with a wagon and driver for the periods specified.

Halifax County, which extends to the North Carolina border, was a tobacco growing region, as it still is today. It is in the middle of Southaide Virginia, in tke Piedmont
Pleateau of rolling hills leading to the Blue Ridge Mountains, and today it appears that this land, in the southwest corner of the county, is in the area that forms something of a
triangle between secondary state Highways #691 and #659 (the River Road), very near the present community of Paces and possibly nine or so miles southwest of the county seat, also called Halifax. On a larger scale this area is south of U. S. #360 and north of U. S. #58. The tiny town of Turbeville, once called Bloomsburg, is about four miles southeast from where Tobys Creek flows into the Dan River. Danville, in adjacent Pittsylvania County is about 25 miles southwest from this point.
